The family's attitude towards Li Zhe before was almost respectful. Everything showed that Li Zhe was not simple.
And now, let alone that!
Since ancient times, I have never heard of any ancient martial artist who has cultivated the talent of planting and cultivated ingredients of such excellent quality.
…
Since Li Zhe said so, Mi Yun directly took Li Zhe to Mi Caixuan's kitchen.
After Mi Caixuan was renovated, the kitchen became cleaner, tidier, spacious and brighter. After all, it is now a Michelin two-star restaurant, and the sanitary conditions of the kitchen are also very important.
A group of chefs are busy in the back kitchen. Mi Caixuan's business is booming every day. The chefs are also very busy. When they see Mi Yun, they all nod their heads:
"Hello, manager!"
Mi Yun nodded her head in response.
The chef of Mi Caixuan came over and smiled brightly at Mi Yun and Li Zhe:
"Mr. Li, why are you interested in visiting my kitchen today?"
When Mi Yun and Li Zhe just met, the chef of Mi Caixuan followed Mi Yun to Li Zhe's house and personally cooked the vegetables and sturgeon provided by Li Zhe, so they were already old acquaintances.
"No, I've got something good for you again!"
Li Zhe lifted the basket in his hand and gestured.
The chef looked into the basket and saw a dozen eggs still covered with dirt, lying quietly inside.
The chef was a little confused. What kind of good thing is this egg?
But when he thought that it was sent by Li Zhe, the chef suddenly became interested.
Before, Li Zhe sent those simple vegetables grown in the fields, which were considered a lot of "good things", but now, aren't these vegetables sold at sky-high prices and in short supply?
Anyway, he knew that as long as it was something Li Zhe brought over, no matter how common it was, it was definitely not ordinary! The quality is n times higher than other similar products on the market!
"Watch me make a dish and try my eggs!"
"Okay, you two please come and I'll bring it to you in a moment!"
After Li Zhe handed the basket to the chef, Mi Yun took Li Zhe's hand and returned to the dining area of the restaurant, directly going to the best private room on the second floor.
After it was done, Mi Yun also looked forward to it, waiting for the chef to prepare the dish with eggs and serve it.
She was also very curious about the taste of the eggs that Li Zhe brought over.
The chef carried the basket of eggs that Li Zhe brought over and quickly thought of what to cook with them.
He was even ready to see for himself what was different about the eggs Li Zhe brought over this time.
Soon, Mi Yun and Li Zhe, who were waiting in the box, were waiting for this dish.
The chef himself came in carrying a blue and white porcelain sea bowl.
When the chef put the sea bowl on the table, Li Zhe and Mi Yun discovered that it was a simple egg custard dish!
This is in line with Li Zhe's wishes. The eggs produced by his chickens fed with spiritual water are very delicious. In Li Zhe's mind, only this simple egg custard dish can combine this delicious taste. Reflected to the extreme!
It can be said that Chef Mi Caixuan and Li Zhe came together!
He thought to himself that the ingredients Li Zhe brought must be of extremely high quality, and the higher the quality of the ingredients, the simpler the cooking method, the more flavor they can bring out.
Just like the previous vegetable ingredients, they are simply stir-fried, and the sturgeon is eaten raw as sashimi!
For the eggs this time, he also chose the simplest custard that tests the quality of the eggs, with only a simple steaming step!
Custard!
It can be said that no matter how high-end a restaurant or hotel is, it is a dish that will be on the menu.
From five-star hotels or Michelin-starred restaurants to street food stalls, you can definitely find it on the menu!
It is because of its simple and convenient cooking method and the fact that it is suitable for all ages, so it can be regarded as a famous home-cooked dish.
But the simpler the dish, the more it tests the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chef. It goes without saying that Chef Mi Caixuan’s skill is great. Next, it depends on the quality of the eggs!
Mi Yun, Li Zhe and the chef all had a set of cutlery in front of them. After each person scooped a spoonful of custard from the big bowl into the bowl in front of them, they began to taste it.
Li Zhe was fine. He had already tasted the taste of this egg at home before, so he just sighed:
The chef is a chef, and he brought out the flavor of this custard to the extreme. He controlled the heat and time very exquisitely. It is indeed more delicious than the custard steamed by my mother!
As for Mi Yun and the chef, after putting the custard on the spoon into their mouths, their expressions changed significantly!
If they hadn't been mentally prepared for the ingredients delivered by Li Zhe, their expressions would have been even more exaggerated at this time!
But even so, the two of them stagnated for a moment, and then quickly wiped out all the custard in a large bowl!
In this way, the two of them were still unfinished.
This is very rare for two catering practitioners.
The last time this happened, I still had two dishes: stir-fried vegetables and sturgeon sashimi.
There was no way, the custard melted as soon as it entered the mouth, and a rich and sweet taste flowed from the throat into the stomach, completely conquering the two of them.
"Boss, it looks like we can introduce the third main dish!"
The chef said to Mi Yun seriously, his face full of excitement.
For a chef, being able to encounter the best quality ingredients is the happiest thing.
Mi Yun on the side also nodded heavily, with stars twinkling in her eyes!
Mi Caixuan's current situation is very delicate.
Although the restaurant's reputation is growing with its two main dishes of stir-fried vegetables and sturgeon sashimi, at the same time, its expectations have also risen.
When diners go to a restaurant, they can’t just eat two dishes all the time! The other dishes are so different!
All diners are looking forward to Mi Cai Xuan being able to introduce more top-notch dishes.
But the terrible thing is that the two dishes of stir-fried vegetables and sturgeon sashimi are the best after all. Without top-notch ingredients, they simply cannot meet the expectations of diners.
But the moment they ate the custard, Mi Yun and the chef almost had the same thought in their minds:
Let’s make this egg custard dish the third main dish of Mi Cai Xuan!
…
Next, several people began to discuss cooperation matters regarding Mi Caixuan's order of eggs.
Mi Yun also knew that Li Zhe's breeding farm was set up to make the villagers of Lijiaji rich, so she directly and generously offered an incredible price:
One hundred yuan a pound!
You know, the price of free-range eggs on the market is only about seven or eight yuan per catty, and the top-quality ones only cost more than ten yuan.
The price Mi Yun offered was more than ten times the market price.
Li Zhe was naturally very satisfied with this price, so that the villagers could make more money, and Mi Yun's Mi Caixuan would also make some money!
Driving his dilapidated van, Li Zhe returned to Lijiaji in the countryside of Jiangcheng.
After parking the car, he went straight to his second grandfather Li Manfu's house.
After all, he was the village chief, and Li Zhe had to discuss the egg sale with him.
As soon as Li Zhe arrived at Li Manfu's house, he was personally welcomed in by Li Manfu.
Now Li Zhe is a famous person in the entire Lijiaji. Whenever he meets someone on the street, they will ask Li Zhe to come home and have a cup of tea. That is so popular!
Lijiaji is not a big place. Li Zhe just rushed to the village chief's house, and many people saw it.
Everyone was informed in the morning that Li Zhe was willing to give all the eggs on the mountain to everyone.
Therefore, what Li Zhe could do when he went to the village chief's house was definitely to discuss the sale of chicken and duck eggs!
Therefore, many people followed Li Zhe and arrived at Li Manfu's house, ready to see what the situation was like.
At this time, many people had gathered outside.
There were even some naughty boys who climbed on the wall of the village chief's courtyard and kept looking inside.
After Li Manfu welcomed Li Zhe into his yard, he asked Li Zhe to sit down and asked his son to take out the good tea leaves he had hidden. He held Li Zhe's hand and said, "Let Li Zhe stay here to eat, don't mention too much." Enthusiastic.
Li Zhe was slightly embarrassed and could only quickly stop Li Manfu:
"Second uncle, please stop working. I will sit down for a while and then leave. The main thing is to discuss with you the problem of chickens, ducks and eggs in our village!"
After hearing what Li Zhe said, Li Manfu found a stool and sat down.
This was a big deal, and the people outside the yard listening to the wall began to hold their breath and listen to what Li Zhe was going to say.
"Baby, we all listen to you. Everyone listens to you. Whatever you say, we will do it!"
Li Zhe cleared his throat and said with a smile:
"It's like this. I have found a market for the eggs in our village and sell them to restaurants in the city. But as for duck eggs, everyone knows that they don't taste as good as eggs and have a fishy smell. So, I plan to let the big guy Pickle these duck eggs and make them into salted duck eggs. It will be more convenient to keep them at home or sell them."
Li Manfu didn't expect that Li Zhe would find a market for the eggs in the village so quickly, and he was immediately overjoyed!
As for the issue of duck eggs, he also knew about it, and not many people even in rural areas would eat native duck eggs. They are usually used to make salted duck eggs. After all, the fishy smell makes them unpalatable!
The villagers in Lijiaji outside also heard the news and began to become a little commotion.
Naturally, they would be a little happy to be able to make money from selling eggs in the future.
However, more surprising news was yet to come. Li Zhe slowly said:
"I've almost negotiated the price. One pound of eggs costs one hundred yuan. Second uncle, what do you think?"
"What?"
If it weren't for his age, Li Manfu almost jumped up from his stool when he heard Li Zhe's words and looked at Li Zhe with disbelief.
Originally, what he thought was that the eggs on the mountain in his village were of better quality and were produced by organic free-range chickens, so he should be able to sell them for more money.
But he never expected that the eggs could be sold at such a high price, and it didn't scare the old man into having a heart attack!
The villagers who were listening to the wall outside the courtyard also exploded.
Who has ever heard of such a thing? Eggs can be sold for one hundred yuan per catty?
They all know that the eggs laid by organic free-range chickens may be more expensive, but this is too exaggerated.
But immediately, they were all ecstatic!
There is real income here. A pound of eggs costs 100 yuan. So what are the eggs picked up on the mountain every day? They are clearly golden eggs!
